Hi Everyone,

 

Ive got an LC 4Cyl 2 Door that I am in the process of turning into a circuit car.

 

Ill got most things sorted....engine, diff etc, but was wondering if i could get some advice on where to head with the brakes.

 

Rears are no real biggie, as is the booster/ master cylinder, however where do I start with the 4 cyl drum brake stub axels?

 

Are there companies out there that can work with this to give me discs up front?

 

Thanks

Front disc brakes were a common option on HB, LC, LJ & TA 4-cyl Toranas. They were also standard for Brabhams, Deluxes & later SLs.

 

AFAIK they will interchange from drum to disc and from TA back to HB.
